I've seen the image of Jesus in a Bit-o-honey once.Saw a stick insect that looked like pope John Paul another time. And I like bees.
I'm not sure but I think I've been saved.

Healthy-looking hive, and an experienced apiarist too. It took me a while to get to the point where I was comfortable checking out my hives in shirtsleeves. I started my first 2 hives in a N.C. city this year and it is a fantastically satisfying experience. Everyone should Google Dadant or Brushy Mountain Bees and get with it, or google HagenDaz and check out their campaign to save the bees. Unbelievably important; the bees are in trouble and we all need to help despite the way the repubs belittle it.

I've tasted honey made by Manhattan bees - it's good stuff.
